There are also shortcomings, comparing it with a model a year and a half older.
- Battery capacity, a year has not passed yet, as I remember that the charge of the same battery capacity in Readmi 6 pro from a new phone was enough for me for 3.5-4 days when surfing the Internet, instant messengers for an hour, listening to music for 2 hours and a few conversations. In the same smartphone from a new one with a similar use - the battery lasts for 2 days with a penny, this is very small. Apparently the system itself is not balanced for economical power consumption, so this is a big and main minus
- No additional sensors on the front surface, from the fact that the role of add. sensors are played by a single camera in front, this worsens the operation of functions such as turning the screen off and on when you bring the phone to your ear during a call. Those. the screen constantly turns on and off during a conversation "through the handset", from the fact that the screen turns on arbitrarily with your cheek, you can turn off the microphone, dial an additional combination of numbers on the screen or turn on the speaker, this is not convenient
- Fast charging through a native adapter, as it seemed, spoils the battery, with each such charge, I noticed that the phone began to discharge faster and faster. I use an old adapter, 2 Amperes, 4 hours instead of 2 hours until fully charged, you can endure rather than kill the battery. before daily charging.
- The function of automatically turning off the mobile Internet when connected to a Wi-Fi point. Since the purchase, I could not understand why my mobile Internet disappears when I connect to a Wi-Fi point until you turn off and turn on the mobile Internet again. It turns out that in the depths of the developer options this feature is enabled by default. In the past, this was not the case, and there was no need to climb the forums to find this ill-fated feature.
- One external speaker instead of two as in Redmi 6. It plays, it is normal, but not as loud and clear as in the previous series,
- The location of the headphone jack on the bottom, on the one hand, does not interfere conveniently. but on the other hand, it is easily pulled out in some poses))
